Abstract: The terminal voltages of battery cells 10-1 to 10-n constituting a set battery 10 are individually monitored by cell-voltage detecting circuits 11-1 to 11-n and input to a current control circuit 12. The current control circuit 12 detects any of the monitored terminal voltages that attains a level indicating a fully charged state. A variable constant-current control circuit 13 supplies a charging current ICH by regulating power output by a main power supply 14. As the current control circuit 12 detects a state in which one of the battery cells 10-1 to 10-n gets fully charged, the variable constant-current control circuit 13 stops charging current into the set battery 10.

Abstract: The electrical connector of this invention has a housing ( A ) containing an array of terminal accommodating chambers ( 1 ) for receiving terminals ( C ); and a rear holder ( B ) having openings ( 14 ) that correspond to rear openings of the terminal accommodating chambers, the rear holder being fitted between side walls ( 3 ) formed at the rear of the housing. Between the housing and the rear holder is provided means ( 4,16 ) which provisionally lock the rear holder when the rear holder is inserted into the rear portion of the housing to the position where its front surface ( B ₀) comes into contact with the rear surface ( A₀ ) of the housing and the corresponding openings of the rear holder and the housing virtually align with each other. There is also means ( 4,16;9,19 ) between the housing and the rear holder which, when the rear holder is slid from the provisional engagement position to the final assembly position with the rear holder kept in surface contact with the housing, fully locks the rear holder at this final assembly position. Since the rear holder ( B ) in the provisional engagement position and the housing ( A ) are in surface contact, with no gap between them and with the corresponding openings virtually aligned, the terminals ( C ) can be smoothly without any trouble and the rear holder can be slid to the full engagement position in a single-step procedure, facilitating the assembly work.

Abstract: A water level measurement system for use with a pressurised power plant boiler comprises a tubular pressure vessel for attachment to one end of the boiler such that the water level in the pressure vessel is the same as in the boiler. The pressure vessel has a central rod-like conductor which together with the vessel forms a coaxial RF waveguide. A pair of spaced reference discontinuities are provided in the conductor above the maximum level of the water, so that an RF pulse injected into the waveguide is reflected successively by both discontinuities and the surface of the water. The level of the water can then be determined independently of changes in the dielectric constant of the vapour above it, from the ratio between the time intervals between the first and second reflected pulses and between the first and third reflected pulses. The conductor is mounted at the top of the pressure vessel by way of a pressure seal and a ceramic insulator.

Abstract: The resolution of a progressive frame displayed with a cathode ray tube can be improved by doubling the sample density vertically and horizontally. According to the invention, it is carried out in that the direction of the edge of a centremost sample of a window is analysed in a 3*3 window using appropriate operators, said direction being horizontal, vertical, 45° direction, 135° direction, or there is no distinct direction. When the amount of edge information has been calculated, a check is carried out concerning the consistency also in the 3*3 window, and the edge information is corrected if necessary. Thereafter, three new samples are interpolated in the direction detected by the edge information to be located adjacent to the centremost sample of the window, two of said samples being located on a new line to be formed.

Abstract: Data samples describing a plurality of micro-segments that compose a symbol to be recognized are received from a device (160) such as an electronic pad. A preprocessor (162) maps the micro-segments into cells of an array that has several feature dimensions. The preprocessor assigns values to the cells based on the length of a micro-segment associated with the cell, and how well the features of the associated micro-segment correspond to the feature label of the cell. The cell values are used as inputs to at least one of a plurality of neural networks, where each neural network (168) is trained to identify symbols from a different group of symbols. A sorter (164) examines the symbol to determine which neural network should be used to recognize the symbol. An output produced by the sorter controls a switching means (166) that communicates the cell values to the proper neural network.

Abstract: Each node in a multinode communication system is provided with programming to act as a Set Manager for a given set of nodes and users. Functions of the Set Manager include operation processes for creating distribution trees for efficient multicast and bandwidth reservation tasks. Because set membership is not necessarily fixed or accurate at the time the distribution tree is created, the Tree Leader task that creates and maintains the trees needs accurate and updated information showing the number of users at the nodes it serves which are participating in the distribution tree. The count of active users at nodes served by the Tree Leader is provided in response to an indicia established at the time the Tree Leader sets up the tree. Each Set Manager at a given node monitors for changes in set membership and link failure and notifies the requesting Tree Leaders for each tree in which it participates whenever changes in the number of users either by joining or leaving the set or link failures occur by direct communication between the Set Managers and the Tree Leaders without requiring intervention of other elements in the system.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus prevents an increase in random noise and the like produced by distributing a transformation error, which is produced at the time of a level-number transformation, to unprocessed pixel data. Error data X n  is added to pixel data, which has entered via an input unit, by means of an adder. Thereafter, the resulting data is subjected to a level-number transformation by a binarizing circuit. Transformation error produced at the time of the level-number transformation is calculated by an error arithmetic unit. The transformation error thus calculated is distributed to unprocessed pixel data by an error-diffusion unit, and the error is accumulated in a line buffer memory as error data. When processing of a prescribed number of lines has ended, a line-number discriminating circuit clears the error data that has been accumulated in the line buffer memory. As a result, an increase in random noise is prevented.

Abstract: In a color cathode ray tube apparatus, a shadow mask is fixed on a frame with a predetermined tension for cancelling a thermal expansion of the shadow mask during normal operation of the color cathode ray tube apparatus. The mechanical strength of the longer sides on the frame is higher than that of the shorter sides of the frame by fixing reinforcing plates or ribs on the longer sides in order that the tension of the shadow mask not become uneven. Furthermore, the frame material can have a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the material of the shadow mask.
